Description
Expected behavior
I would expect to be able to update the plugins through the app.
Actual behavior
When I tapped the "Update" link, I saw the "Successfully updated [Plugin name]" notice at the bottom of the screen but the "Update" link still appears on the screen.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Go to My Site > Plugins > Manage
- Select a plugin that needs to be updated
- Tap the "Update" link
- See that the "Successfully updated [Plugin name]" appears at the bottom of the screen but the "Update" link remains on the screen
- Check WP Admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins and notice the plugin still needs to be updated
Video recording
Tested on OPPO Reno 4, Android 11, WPAndroid 17.5-rc-1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the update flow in My Site > Plugins > Manage on the reported Android setup, then compare the app state with WP Admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins. Trace why the success notice appears while the plugin remains outdated; done means the plugin updates successfully, the Update link disappears, and WP Admin shows it as current.
